Revolt: The Kingdom And The Power

Can a new generation of evangelicals change the way Christians think about climate change?

SHOW TRANSCRIPT

Evangelical Christians might be the most powerful voting block in America. They're also far less likely than the general public to believe in human-caused climate change. In this report, we talk with faith leaders, theologians, scientists and other evangelicals rallying around climate change — often on opposing sides of the issue.

Our series "Revolt" explores climate and energy issues in a fresh context focused on Middle America. This is the last of six episodes.

- "Money and resources do flow from companies like ExxonMobil and the oil and gas billionaire Koch brothers, to think tanks and politicians that reject the mainstream science of climate change. … A very small amount of that also goes to the Cornwall Alliance." - The Guardian, DeSmog Blog, ExxonSecrets, Splinter
